Here are a few suggestions that will help you and aid you in producing an individual’s articles. Below you are likely to learn about 4 factors almost all articles will need to have to make them powerful and also beneficial for making your website a money building and visitors overflowing web-site.

Keywords and Keyword Phrases.

An article should end up being devoted to the keywords along with keyword phrases. As each and every internet site guest goes toward a web site, there are those who’re just merely browsing but really searching for an unique something. When this happens, a searcher generally travels to the search engines and keys in the keywords many are searhing for (e. g. Acne, SEO, Cell Phone etc.). It may be whatever they desire.

Understanding Keyword Density

Recognize that you’ve got ones own keywords along with keyword phrases, you will need to utilize them totally. An article will need to have good keyword density pertaining to the search engines to be able to experience the existence. Articles should at a minimum include 2 to 6 per-cent connected with keyword density on their content intended for search engines like yahoo to help rank a site high in the listings. Receiving a great rank is certainly just what articles can do for your internet site.

Keyword density is certainly how many instances a keyword as well as keyword phrase must be used by using an article. The number fluctuates with respect to the amount of phrases utilized in an article. A highly effective article have to have a keyword density that’s not way too high or even too minimal. By using a quite high density, the actual essence within the article is usually missing and might let down a viewer in addition to the search engines. It comes off as overeager. A low range may perhaps be dismissed through the major search engines.

This article is intended to convince you to use the “long tail” in your writing and marketing book(s). Doing so can greatly increase your profits and your author platform. Let me prove it to you.

I want to start by telling you about a book I’ve been reading. The name of the book is the New York Times bestseller, The Long Tail by Chris Anderson.

I have scanned and read parts of this book in the past but I have never taken the opportunity to digest the significance of the ideas it describes until now. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the premise of the book, let me briefly describe it.

Mr. Anderson researched the top Internet-based businesses, companies like Amazon, iTunes, Rhapsody, Netflix and eBay, and learned some rather astonishing things about what happens when consumers are given more choices in the marketplace. He documented what is called in statistical analysis a long tail in just about everything people purchased online from books to coffee beans.

The idea of a long tail is this: When you graph what consumers with choices do when shopping at such places as Amazon or eBay, there is a group of products which make up the highest volume sellers. That is, the hits or the products that sell the most. Graphically, these are the products that make up the biggest bump on the graph. However, when you look past the 8,000 or 9,000 bestsellers at these sites the curve dramatically decreases to near the baseline but never quite going to zero sales, aka the long tail.

Now here’s the interesting thing: Anderson’s research found that the vast majority of products, the non-hits at such sites as Amazon and Netflix, sell at least once a quarter. And needless to say there are many more non-hits than there are bestsellers. This phenomenon is statistically represented by a very long tail when graphed.

Be that as it may, the long tail of the sales–as it turns out–is BIG business and the major online retailers know it. It is the reason why Amazon will actually carry books that may only sell once every other year. Fact is it cost them next to nothing to have the product listed and available for sale–just bandwidth and a copy or two of the book on the shelves. For retailers like iTunes and Rhapsody all that’s required to sell is bandwidth since everything sold is digitally delivered.

In effect, the Internet has transformed the supply chain. It used to be that consumers were mostly restricted to buying whatever local brick and mortar stores were selling. For their part local retailers were forced to stock only those products that would sell to the local market. The Internet now makes it economically feasible to list and sell myriad different products without restriction. The curious thing that has developed is that markets now organize themselves around niches based on personal preferences, tastes and affinities but not usually locality.

So what does all this have to do with YOUR financial freedom?

Well, as I read The Long Tail it dawned on me that the journey to your financial freedom and mine can be greatly accelerated by employing the business model of sites such as iTunes and Amazon. Or, said another way, we should strive to recognize and cultivate a bevy of long tail products and services in our own businesses.

Here’s what I realized: Using print-on-demand services to write, publish and distribute books and produce and distribute DVD’s you too can reap the benefits of the long tail in much the same way as the big online retailers do.

That is, you too can put out books, audio programs, DVD’s and other physical products that are manufactured on demand and drop-shipped to customers without inventory costs and little to no set-up fees.

As you add new products you will naturally start to reap the benefits of the long tail. That is, some of your products will sell better than others and some will be more profitable but the real key is THEY WILL ALL SELL. The idea is to put enough products into the pipe and then you’ll really start feeling the financial impact of income rolling in from multiple sources. In effect, each new product becomes another of YOUR financial assets.

And it gets even better because these products can be literally set-it-and-forget-it propositions.

What do I mean?

Let’s say you wanted to do a short historical book on the battleship “Aurora” which on the firing of its guns signaled the start of the Bolshevik revolution. (I only use this example because as I write these words I am sitting in port in St. Petersburg, Russia near where the battleship is still berthed on the Neva River.) Now with print-on-demand you could easily research, write, publish and internationally distribute through Amazon a short book on the subject.

Now here’s the cool thing: Once you have it listed on Amazon, it is henceforth and evermore FOR SALE. You won’t have to pay any fees to continue to list it and you won’t have to promote it or try to sell it because here’s the cincher: When you put a book or other product up on a major marketplace like Amazon, you put the product in the path of traffic. People interested in Bolshevik, Russian, or naval history find you and your product. Many will buy it, as well.

Once you have one product up, you simply rinse and repeat. That is, you put out other products. You keep stuffing the pipe with new products.

Now, if you really want to turbo-charge your success, you don’t just willy-nilly create products. You first figure out what the market wants or what is selling in the particular niche you’re interested in. Then, only after doing your due diligence and research, do you create your products.

Now to maximize the selling power of your long tail it is also better to create products that are related or at least of interest to the group who purchased your last product. Let me give you an example: I broke into this business with a very unique and useful product called Speak On Cruise Ships: 8 Easy Steps to a Lifetime of Free Luxury Cruises, a product that continues to sell quite well to this day. By inferential logic I knew a couple things about the group who purchased this product. I knew that they were interested in travel and public speaking. I further knew that there were a good many professional speakers, coaches, consultants, trainers and authors among my buyers. Thus, it was rather easy for me to determine what types of products they want. I simply do my level-best to offer high-quality info products that deliver on the promise of the title, but most of the products are somehow related.

Another big benefit to developing related products is you can cross-promote them within your other products. This will result in more sales. In effect, the more related products you have the larger the net you can cast.

Needless to say the content of all your products should be of the very best quality. That is, they should deliver on the promises of the title. This is the best way to keep your customers coming back for more.

But again I want to stress as you add more products you will see a similar graphical representation of your sales as the major online retailers. That is, some of your products will sell more frequently and some less, but the exceedingly encouraging thing is probabilities are high that they will all sell. That’s the long tail at work–at work for you.

In this way, you build assets for yourself and when you build enough of them you will start seeing a real difference in your bottom line and a quantum leap toward you financial independence. I know, I’ve seen it in my own business.

So the question remains, how does one self-publish lots of high-quality, highly profitable products? Fortunately, I have some solutions for you.

Often when books are being sold online, customers make semi-instantaneous decisions about which books they would like to look at, inquire about, and possibly buy. The time allocated to get to know a book by an online shopper is significantly less than that of an in-store shopper, simply because of the nature of web browsing. A potential reader needs to be able to gauge their interest in your book quickly, and usually makes judgments based on only the title and a quick scan of the supplied summary of the book. Here are some tips to grab customers’ attention and convince them that your book is worth a closer look.

Keywords: Your title should be fairly self-explanatory, and should contain keywords that inform your potential readers. While it’s good to be witty, beware of too-obscure allusions. You and some of your target readers may understand the reference, but when shoppers are browsing for books, they may not know what your book is actually about if the allusion is too obscure. I.e. calling your book “Holding Half the Sky” in reference to a Chinese proverb about women may be effective, but it can also be misleading, because some could think it is about astrology or aviation rather than women. A keyword search for “women” would not bring this book up either.

Subject: Your title should essentially reveal your subject. This strategy differs for nonfiction and fiction, because fiction writers have the opportunity to be a bit more vague and more creative with their titles. Nonfiction has little leeway with this point, however. Subjects should more or less be stated outright in the title of a nonfiction work – there is no need for mystery, because the readers are looking to be informed quickly, not to have to search for the information. In other words, keep your titles interesting but straightforward.

If you want to go for a catchy and intriguing title, but one that doesn’t necessarily lay the subject bare for the reader, you can always add explanation by using a subtitle. E.g. “Quirky Quarters: The History of American Coins” or “Dear Rosemary: The Story of Love Letters Never Sent.” Your reader shouldn’t have to hunt for what your book is about, because frankly, they don’t want to take the time to do so.

Clear and concise: Keep your title short and sweet – but not too short, because you don’t want to risk not supplying enough details. If you think your one word title suffices, ask a friend what they would think upon hearing that title. Chances are, their connotations of that word are not the same as yours. You know your books and stories better than anyone else, so it can be difficult to step back and view a title as an outsider. E.g. “Shadow” can be taken many ways, whereas a reader has a good idea what “Shadow the Loyal Pup” will be about.

At the same time, your title shouldn’t be overly long and explanatory. Avoid wordy titles with too many articles or helping verbs that don’t add to the overall idea. Your title should probably not be a sentence, because it needs to be easy to digest, and still leave something to the imagination. E.g. “Emily and her Family Move to Kansas” is less effective than “Emily’s Big Move.”

Hook: This word is thrown around a lot – so much so that its metaphoric connotations are almost gone and it’s become part of the definition of attracting readers. But the term “to hook” is still applicable and still appropriate – your title must (metaphorically) reach through the computer screen (or off of the store shelf) and grab the reader’s attention, latching on to them and pulling them in. The customer must be “hooked” when they read your title – unable to look at any other book until they find out what yours is about! Before you run to the nearest bait and tackle store, see how you can use words to hook your reader.

The whole act of hooking involves creating curiosity in your reader. You want to provoke thought, and you want to stand out from the rest. That means you need interesting, carefully chosen, unexpected vocabulary. Let’s face it: titles are short, and sometimes we can only say what we want in a lot of words. The length of titles forces the author to come up with a very specific combination of words: You only have a few words to work with, so they’d better be perfect ones.

You also need an active title. A title that is one word, a character’s name, for example, generates interest because the reader wants to know what is significant about that character. But adding a verb to your title makes your book seem dynamic and gives the reader a better idea what your book is about, what your characters are doing, and what you are depicting. A book called “Sheila” makes readers wonder who Sheila is and why you’re writing about her, but doesn’t give them any clues. Instead, a book called “Sheila Runs” or even “Run, Sheila” allows readers to wonder about her significance while also giving them more information so that they can ask further questions – Where/why is Sheila running? What is she running to/from? Will she ever stop? etc. The more questions they ask, the more opportunities you have to hook them into your book.

Reader: Have your ideal reader in mind. Know your reader, explore what they know and don’t know about the subject you are writing about – if you are informing them, how much do they already know? What questions do they have about the subject? If you’re writing fiction, ask yourself what they know about the setting of your book – is it set in a generic or specific place? Is it historical or futuristic, and what assumptions would your reader make for either? Is your book part of a series, and would you expect your readers to know your characters already? These questions are all important, and they are helpful in trying to step out of your own mind, which is all-too familiar with your book, and into the reader’s. Once you get in touch with your ideal reader’s mindset and reasons for reading, you can come up with titles that reach out to them.

A word of caution: you don’t want to alienate any potential readers, and using a title that is too specific to your ideal reader may backfire. So use a title that will attract both your ideal reader and the more general audience that contains him. Ex. “Cracking the Code” may be a better choice than “The Cryptographer’s Dilemma – To Encrypt or to Decrypt?” Using exact, technical language will only draw in a narrow scope of readers, so make your titles exciting and relevant to both your target and a wider audience by using more generic language.

Having trouble thinking of a title? Think of how you would summarize your book to someone who hadn’t read it yet, and limit yourself to only a few sentences. From those sentences, try to pick out the main point, and experiment with synonyms until you find a catchy title. Another tip: use a repeated or meaningful phrase from within your book, or pick a poignant phrase from the climax of your book.

Note: Some publishing contracts allow the editor or publisher to have more of a say in your title than you do. On one hand, they can do the hard titling work for you…but on the other, if you’ve come up with a title you’re attached to, discuss it with your publisher before signing any contracts that allow your title to be changed.
